Hardy Flower Seeds shonld be sown in the open, after dang'er of frost is past, in well-worbed and moist soil. Seeds of 

 medium size, put at depth of one-quarter to one-half inch. Very line seeds press into the soil, and cover slightly with a 

 little sand or sphag'nnm moss. If seed is not deep, water frequently. When^up, transplant from two to twelve inches apart, 

 according' to variety of plants. Do not leave too thick as the plants will be weak and spindling. Keep weeds out of the flower 

 beds. Annuals may be planted in early spring, and bloom the first season only. Biennials bloom the second year from seed, 

 and then die. Perennials bloom the second year from seed, and plants live to bloom during successive years. Varieties marked
